Chocolate Chip Pudding Cookies
How does a freshly-baked batch of chocolate chip cookies made with instant vanilla pudding mix sound? Good?
Because they really are!
These cookies are deliciously thick, super soft, and chewy, and loaded with vanilla flavour. Stuff them with chocolate chips and you have yourself a batch of your new favourite cookies.
This is my favourite way to make cookies because the pudding mix makes them EXTRA soft, thick, and flavourful!

How to make Chocolate Chip Pudding Cookies
To make these cookies, simply grab a medium mixing bowl and whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and pudding mix. Set aside.
In a separate large mixing bowl, whisk together the melted butter and sugars until combined.
Add the egg and vanilla extract, and mix until combined.
Add the dry ingredients, and mix until just combined.
Fold in the chocolate chips.
Using a medium cookie scoop, drop scoops of the dough onto a baking tray lined with parchment paper or a silicone mat, and bake for 10 – 12 minutes.
Allow to cool on the baking tray for 5 – 10 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

NOTE: For best results, I highly recommend using the gram measurements (with a digital scale), rather than the cup measurements.
Cup measurements are simply not accurate enough, and I cannot guarantee the best results if you use them.
